Veeam Backup & Replication • Re: Regarding retention policy

@david.domask, first of all thanks.

Please check my "Retention policy 1" again, there i have specified that fulls get created after every 7 restore point backups.

Is that true? or it will just create 1 full backup followed by all incremental until the synthetic backup that triggers in at the End of the day?

Is it possible to have multiple fulls in a day as i have specified in the diagram? if so, what job retention policy could achieve that(assume such a need is a requirement for a business workflow)?

Also, a follow up question,

will the deletion of the "old" backup chain be done, as part of the backup job itself, once retained backup count determined to be attained?
( or )
After backup job is done, some other process would come along to do that(like garbage collector), assume per VM separate chain backup?

Assume, a possibility some VM, due to failure, its chain does not have sufficient restore points(retained backup count)?

Sorry i could not follow up on this thread as i was away.
